If you turn off the engine using the
SmartKey and remove the SmartKey
from the starter switch with the trans-
mission in a position other than P, the
transmission will automatically shift

with the SmartKey alone will not auto-
matically shift the transmission to P.
Only when the SmartKey is removed
from the starter switch will the trans-
mission automatically shift to P.

wind the seat belt by guiding the latch
plate.

appears in the multifunction display if
the vehicle's exterior lamps are not
switched off.

keep hands and fingers away from the door
openings when closing the doors. Be espe-
cially careful when small children are

possibility of someone getting caught in a
door during closing.
